I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    I hope those outrage porn subs don’t make their way here. If people want them it looks like Reddit will be open for a while longer. But I feel like it’s too toxic to have on Lemmy.

      I think pure outrage viewers won’t switch over yet, the problem is that a lot of people have small outrage watching tendencies and once you hit a large enough overall community size all those little tendencies build up to enough to keep a community alive. Once that happens the pure viewers flood in and it becomes overwhelming.
